Honor, Face, and Dignity

  • Cultures high on dignity tend to emphasize individual values in their own self rather than value from others. Dignity focuses on internal strengths and fits well with market economies. Example: United States

  • Cultures with honor exist in areas with lower government and policing of citizens. Without strong police and laws, citizens must protect themselves and their families. Example: Latin American countries

  • Cultures of face are seen in areas with hierarchy and cooperation. Citizens protect one another's image and and obey authority figures. Example: Japan or China.
